in focus - Nero and Dante from the previous games and V, a new character

who bring different combat play with the end goal of slaying demons and in

style.

It pays to know the background of the almost two-decade-old franchise

but if you’re just jumping into the action-packed world of Devil May Cry,

Capcom has got a nice introductory video at the start of the game for

newcomers to bring them up to speed with the series.

The new game follows a storyline, but that’s not why everyone likes a DMC

game. It’s the fast-paced action and the ability to better oneself with every

battle is what keeps everyone hooked. While button mashing works to a

certain point, it always helps to learn some combo moves that help to earn a

stylish rank. It’s the rank that displays on the right-hand side of the screen

showing how a player is faring in that particular combat.

Capcom’s RE Engine did wonders to its last two Resident Evil games and

DMC 5 also takes full advantage of it. DMC 5 looks beautiful with realistic

character design, combats and world detail.

Devil May Cry 5 is a game that takes around 10-12 hours for its first

playthrough but it’s the replayability factor and impressive combat makes

the game fun.
